A Warm Fuzzy with extra Fuzz. . .
15 years ago
So, just a few days ago, I had to reflect back on the last few years in my life:
May 27, 2008: I was still breathing a sigh of relief after escaping from the aftermath of Lin's sister's wedding unscathed for the most part. I was glad that her sister was happy, and was convinced that marriage was indeed an institution- one that causes those around the couple to need an institution at the end of the reception!
May 27, 2009: I was sitting in a hospital waiting area drinking sucky coffee and eating Twizzlers while watching a mind-numbing monstrosity known as Phinneas and Ferb. Lin's sister was in labor. Finally, 45 minutes after he came into the world, I met Lin's nephew. I was hooked. I admit it. But the first thought out of my mind was: Aww, lookit the lil purple monkey!
May 28, 2010: Lin, Baz and I headed east to visit the lil purple monkey, who had turned one the day before. I gave him a purple monkey plushie that I have since found out he is quite fond of. The thing that made me go "AWWWWW" and squee inwardly was the fact that after waking up from his nap, this monkey was the thing he wanted, and he immediately curled up on it against his grandmother's chest. I was so touched by this that I didn't hear my biological clock slapping me upside the head until a few hours later.
The little things that touch me, the little joys that make me want to cry sweet tears. This was one of them.
I have to say, I never expected to receive such a gift on someone else's birthday, but I felt spoiled.
And I really liked it.
